The Association of Management, Administrative and Professional Crown Employees of Ontario is a trade union representing public sector employees in the Province of Ontario, Canada. It is known by its acronym AMAPCEO, pronounced "a-map-see-oh". AMAPCEO represents 12,000 professional and supervisory public servants, most of whom work directly for the Government of Ontario. Of Canada’s ten provinces, Ontario is the most populous (at 13.6 million in 2014, constituting almost 40 per cent of the Canadian population) and the second largest in area (1.076 million km²). Ontario's political system in based on the Westminster system of parliamentary democracy and the career public service is apolitical and non-partisan, providing objective advice to, and implementing decisions of, successive governments, regardless of the political party that is elected to form the government at any given time. AMAPCEO-represented employees in the Ontario Public Service (OPS) work in every government ministry and in a number of agencies, boards and commissions in over 130 cities and towns across Ontario and in eleven cities outside Canada. AMAPCEO also represents seven bargaining units outside the OPS in the broader public sector (or BPS): the Office of the Provincial Advocate for Children and Youth (OPACY), an independent office of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario; Public Health Ontario (PHO, formerly known as the Ontario Agency for Health Protection and Promotion), an independent provincial Crown agency; Waypoint Centre for Mental Health Care (formerly the Penetanguishene Mental Health Centre), which was the final psychiatric hospital divested from provincial government operation; the Ontario Racing Commission (ORC), an independent Crown agency that regulates the horse racing industry in the province; the Medical Advisory Secretariat at Health Quality Ontario (HQO, formerly known as the Ontario Health Quality Council), an independent provincial Crown agency that promotes and monitors quality assurance in the health-care sector; the Ontario Arts Council (OAC), an independent agency that promotes and funds artists and arts organizations; and the Office of the French Language Services Commissioner (OFLSC), established as an independent office of the Legislative Assembly in 2014. Eighty per cent of AMAPCEO members work in the provincial capital city of Toronto. Members include policy analysts, financial analysts, auditors, economists, mediators, arbitrators, scientists, chaplains, veterinarians, racing judges, program supervisors, child and youth advocates, clinical co-ordinators, psychiatric patient advocates, media relations and communications officers, epidemiologists, arts granting officers and many others. As a trade union, the Association is relatively young, having been established in 1992 as a grassroots organization to represent employees who, at that time, were excluded from collective bargaining. The founding president was Janet Ballantyne; the founding Vice-President was Art Halpert. In 1995, Gary Gannage and Robert Stambula were elected, respectively, as President and Vice-President. Stambula resigned on September 30, 2013, when he retired from the OPS, and was succeeded by the current Vice-President, Sally Jurcaba (formerly Sally Pardaens). Gannage completed his final two-year term on December 31st, 2014. In November 2014, the Annual Delegates' Conference elected Dave Bulmer, who was then Treasurer, as the new President to succeed Gannage, effective January 1st, 2015. Besides Bulmer and Jurcaba, the other members of the four-person Executive Committee are the Secretary, Barbara Gough, and the Treasurer, Chris Harper. In 1993, AMAPCEO negotiated a Social Contract sectoral framework agreement on behalf of 12,000 excluded civil servants. When bargaining rights were extended by the government to some previously-excluded employees, AMAPCEO successfully signed up a sufficient number of members (subsequently certified by the Ontario Labour Relations Board) to achieve voluntary recognition by the government as an official bargaining agent in March 1995. At that time, the membership was approximately 4,500 employees; total bargaining unit membership has almost tripled in size since certification. AMAPCEO (celebrated the 20th anniversary of its founding in 2012 ) and the 20th anniversary of voluntary recognition in 2015. AMAPCEO employs approximately 35 full-time staff who service members from an office in Toronto (1 Dundas Street West at the corner of Dundas and Yonge Streets). All employees in the office except the senior staff are members of a bargaining unit represented by the national Canadian union, (Unifor ). In May 2014, Anthony Pizzino was named as the inaugural Executive Director (or Chief Administrative Officer) of AMAPCEO. Other senior staff include: Farrah Charania, Senior Administrative Officer; Michael Mouritsen, Director, Operations and Planning; Rob Smalley, Director, Dispute Resolution; and Angela Stewart, Director, Administration. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Association of Management, Administrative and Professional Crown Employees of Ontario」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
